Decarbonization
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.
This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.

The report reveals there is no single pathway to a decarbonized energy mix. A combination of energy sources—primarily gas and renewables—will be the quickest route to delivering a supply of affordable, decarbonized energy in the lead-up to the midcentury. -
The UK’s leading oil and gas industry body says the industry can reduce emissions while meeting the region’s energy demand.
-
The Oil & Gas Technology Centre has announced it will create, in partnership with industry, a Net Zero Solution Centre to accelerate the development and deployment of technologies to decarbonize offshore operations and develop the UK continental shelf as the first net zero oil and gas basin.

Mosaic’s technology uses chemistry to remove carbon dioxide from emissions sources, and the two firms will be looking at how to scale it for industrial use.
-
It is “one of the world’s largest greenhouse gas mitigation projects ever undertaken by industry,” Chevron said in a news release.

Using direct air capture in the near-term is critical if the technology is going to be affordable at a truly large scale in the coming decades. Enhanced oil recovery is the most-economic way to do that.
-
BHP announced a 5-year, $400-million Climate Investment Program to develop technologies to reduce emissions from its operations as well as those generated from the use of its resources.
-
In recent years, some effort has been made to use EOR techniques, particularly CO2 injection, to extract additional oil and gas from unconventional resources. This has the potential to change the dynamics (again) of oil production from these tight and difficult reservoirs.
-
The oil industry is investigating carbon capture and sequestration projects after Congress passed expanded tax credits last year. But questions linger about how much industry investments will actually lower greenhouse gases.
-
A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill to increase federal funding toward developing carbon capture technology while also committing to fossil fuel use.
